It's Getting Christmas-y Up in Here!
We have had quite the spell of wintery weather here! At the end of last week we were blasted with snow, some ice, more snow, and temps in the single digits. Gabriel and I were thrilled to no end by the snowy blanket that covered our yard. It was the biggest accumulation the kids have ever seen. In some areas of our yard the drifts were around 6 inches! Although in most spots we were somewhere around 3 inches or so.
As per her usual warm weather self…Lorelai was very excited to don her snow suit, until she actually got out in the snow. Finding it difficult to walk she wanted to go inside within 10 minutes.
Because Brian had been out of town when the snow hit, but was on his way home that afternoon I needed to clear the driveway. I really don't mind doing it, I enjoy it actually, but we didn't have a snow shovel so I had to use a garden shovel. :/ I only did the 2 car part of our garage, and left the third covered in snow.
The snow is finally melted away, but it's still pretty chilly out. That means we need indoor activities and gingerbread houses were on deck today.
I love watching their faces as they work. They are so focused. And Lorelai had a reason as to why certain candy went certain places. Apparently a doorknob was needed for the people, and her snowman needed eyes…. :)
Gabriel wants his to reflect his reality, so he always tries to design his the way he helps Daddy put the lights on the house:
Paisley was discreetly attempting to lick drips of icing off of the table. So, Gabriel tells her, "Never give up, Paisley. Never give up." :)
